Half-life 2 will turn 20 in November so I guess the third one is coming out any day now (opens a new can of copium and grips the favourite spork)
I'm sure Portal 3 is coming soon too... right?
Sure, right after Left 4 Dead 3
Black Mesa remake looks so good. I just picked it up for $4 on Steam. It was nearly 30 damn gigs lol.
Some games that came out 16 years ago:
- GTA IV
- Super Smash Bros Brawl
- Fallout 3
- Left 4 Dead
- Persona 4
I just finished my Windows XP build, and have been enjoying FO3 again the way it was meant to be played.
Stop, stop, we're already dead.
We didn't realize we were in a golden age, did we? /old-man-noises
I knew we were in a golden age when The Orange Box came out. A red letter day in gaming.
Doom came out in 1993 Dec 10
So yeah just over 30 years ago
Thanks, I'll just be over here browsing the AARP webpage.
Hm this mortuary guide looks interesting...
We played that at the office after work :-/
1999 was such an amazing year in my gaming life. Rollercoaster Tycoon, Mechwarrior 3, Battlezone II, and Unreal Tournament. So, so many hours of my life spent in those. That was like, 5 years ago, right?
Breath of the wild came out 7 years ago.
This made me remember that NFS Underground 2 is 20 years old now, and it's still the peak for the series.
cue Riders On The Storm …
This made me curious so I looked up my favorite game from childhood that I still play sometimes now... Super Metroid just turned 30 years old 💀
I'm so nostalgic for that one. Don't think I ever managed to beat it back then though.
I only ever beat it back in the day by using the game guide lol! That was long enough ago that the game guide was an actual paper book I had to find at a store and pay real money for! Well, my mom paid for it anyway lol
What... call of duty modern warfare 2 still has active servers, it came like 3 or 4 years ago... right?
IW4x is actually still really active if you want to play the original MW2 multiplayer.
I still can't fathom that Pikmin is past the legal drinking age in the United States.
Don't look up when Pikmin 2 came out
Looks up when Pikmin 2 came out
Is a year earlier than I remembered
Turns into dust
Halo CE is 23 years old.
I'm replaying a few games that are older than my daughter and she's at college right now.
When I was a kid, computer games for consumers were a concept of science fiction.
Anybody else just get back into aoe2 in the last year and watch hera? This is basically that.
World of Warcraft hits 20 this year. I was there (via private servers), starting in 2006.
Went into CEX the other week, and saw PS1 games I'd bought when I was already an adult with a job, being sold second hand for more than I'd originally bought them for.
Pong can't be that old, can it?
It could start withdrawing from a retirement account without penalty in about 6 years.
💀
Oh, there you are, Shadow of the Colossus.
2005 (PS2), 2011 (PS3 w/ Ico), and 2018 (PS4 remake)
Pokemon Let's Go - 5 and a half years old Pokemon FrLg - 20 years old Pokemon RB - 25 and a half years old
The NES has been considered an antique since 2015 (30 years for an object to be considered an antique).
Linkin Park is old enough to be classic rock.
100 years is the legal definition of an antique. 20-99 years is vintage.
The local oldies station summer concert features Vanilla Ice, Tone Loc, Tag Team and some other 90s bands, so now I kind of want to buy a walker and some tennis balls since my childhood is considered oldies.
That made me think of my Sega Game Gear. That was 33 years ago. I recently turned 40 and now I really do feel like an old fart.
Pitstop 2 that my brother and I played constantly we were kids are 40 years exactly... the pain..
I love that Fallout is now thought of as a first-person game, but it started as a turn-based isometric team RPG in 1997 which was, itself, a near-remake of a 1988 game, which I spent hours playing as a kid.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasteland_(video_game)
And then a few years ago, Wasteland was also revived in the style of the first two Fallout games.
Yes, I know I'm old.

Accurate (it's a bit older than 16 years though)
